Amish Barn Raising




I'm so glad you're all getting a kick out of my rural Amish community. Sometimes I think I'm the only one who appreciates them, I know now that's simply not true. There was a barn-raising around the corner from me this summer. I'm so glad I had the presence of mind to snap a few pics! Enjoy.

Hello Ann
Your photos are wonderful! We often visit St. Jacob's Ontario which is an Amish community & have seen a few barn-raisings on our visits there . They are amazing to watch.

I have always wanted to see a barn raising. Every since I watched "Witness"...is it really like that, with everyone gathering together, sharing food and felloship? Or is it just in the movies?

Okay I have decided you have a large home and you must need a maid or cook. I will eat little and stay out of your way. i will probably be sitting out watching the Amish and you may never know im there. Hehe that work ok?

Hi Ann,
I live among the amish, my best friends are amish!
We have been to several barn raisings!
It is amazing that they can get that many guys together to build a barn in one day!
I don't think us english could do that! Do you!

I am enjoying your blog!
